Walgreens Finds-Share!

This Sunday night I passed by my nearest Walgreens to pick up a few items they had on sale this week and take advantage of the deals and was surprised to find all the gift options and sets they have now for the holidays! I will most definitely be going back shortly to get a few things for presents to my close and loved ones!

I am not sure why I am having problems uploading my video on to this blog post but, here is the link to it on my YouTube channel:  http://youtu.be/T_9iPuLhxCQ


The Purex detergents were buy 1 for $5.99 and get 2 free, and the Renuzit air freshener pods where buy 1 for $0.89 and get 1 free.  Who can let these deals pass by?!


 

They had so many good sets, I wasn't expecting to find so many so I didn't go prepared, but I did pick this one up, it was only $5.00 and it brought 4 travel size mascaras and one mascara serum for my lashes, I can't wait to try it out!


The blue and pink make-up brushes were only a Dollar! how awesome is that?  There Revlon one came out to a little under $3 (All Revlon cosmetics where 40% off and I used a $1 off coupon in the value book)


So happy to have found this Elf crayon lippie in their Dollars bins, I've been wanting to try it out for a while.  The pink one is a Revlon Colorburst Crayon, I got it for a great deal because all Revlon's were 40% off and there was a coupon in the value book for the Colorbursts for $2 off!  The last thing on the right is a lip gloss set and I had to have it!  It brings 6 shades for $2 and as you can see in the video it comes with a pretty good amount of each!  Definitely going in my purse's make-up bag!


Loved the colors of these shadow sets omg! and they were only $1, I couldn't believe it! I can't wait to try them out and create an eye look with these : )  I am loving Walgreens right now!



The Sally Hansen Xtreme wear nailpolishes are $1.99 right now with your value card.  I've been wanting to try out this lilac color so I was happy to get it on sale : )



Last but not least where these Deco tapes by the brand Duct tape, I was so happy to see these on sale I had been wanting to get these but they were regularly priced $2 and change so when I saw they were going to be on sale for 99 cents I headed to Walgreens right away and got every design I could find :D

Goodies Share From Walmart and AC Moore!

I went on a lil shopping spree about 2 weeks ago to Walmart and AC Moore where I picked up some goodies for me, crafting, my planner, and to prepare for the holidays. and I made this video to share what I found with you guys! 



Here are some pictures of the items I mentioned in the video : )


These are the washi tapes I found in AC Moore, I loved them all but specially the first three! I can't wait to use them to decorate my weekly pages on my planner!


I got most of these stamps to prepare for some Christmas cards and crafts I want to make this year for the holidays, four of them where on clearance and I ended up paying 5 cents for them!


Of course I have to pick up a few more of these clear cling stamp! I already have a lil collection of them and I love them! I like how inexpensive they are and the variety in which they come in.


I lucked out and found all these stickers on sale :) payed less than a dollar for each!

 
 
 
 
 
This is my 2 of my haul, here I share some makeup items I picked up at Walmart and these Jeggings I found there as well which I am in love with! They fit like a glove and are so comfortable I can't even describe it and best of all they are under 12 dollars!
 
 
 
I am a sucker for earth tones, I can't seem to help myself when I come across an eyeshadow set with these shades of color.
 

These are some pictures of me and my little cousin wearing the jeggings so you guys can get an idea as to how they fit.  They fit just like a cross between a legging and a skinny jean.


Even though they seem pretty fitted they actually don't feel tight at all, they are surprisingly very comfortable, I ended up getting 3 pairs, and wish I could get a few more.  They come in several different colors and range in size from XS to XXL, the selection is amazing! Not to mention the price, as I mentioned before they are a little under 12 dollars so go check out your local Walmart if your interested in getting a pair : )

 
 


Target Clearance Haul-Share!

So after Halloween and October where over with I went to check out Target and I scored!  Lol, I was able to find a lot of things I had my eye on clearance! Yay! I was so happy :D I had to make a video about it and share it with you guys!



Below I am going to share a few pictures of the items mentioned on the video!











My Faux Filofax Called : Little Frankenstein

Hi guys! I am back to share with you guys the current planner I am using.  I will be moving out of this planner at the beginning of next year and moving into my Metropol Filo, but I must say I think I am going to miss my little Frankenstein as I call him : (



In the video I am going through how I used him and what I use him for.  The video turned out to be much longer then expected so I have to turn it into 2 parts.


This is part 2, I was glad that this part turned out shorter than the first, and hopefully it's not too painful to watch :/

 I am sorry for all the rambling and ums I do in the videos : ( I am currently trying to work on my video etiquette and hopefully will find a way to be much better at it.  This is all a learning process for me but I am very happy with it all!  This is a very positive hobby for me one that I am glad I took up, and even though I am still getting the hang of it, I look forward to everything I have left to learn and improve : )

Inexpensive Statement Jewelry!

As you guys have seen from previous blog posts and videos I have a lot of accessories, and most if not all are inexpensive costume jewelry I have bought throughout the years, since I was about a teen. 

In the video below I will be sharing my latest finds with you guys!:



I love statement pieces and jewelry, they really make any type of outfit pop and stand out! plus they are an easy way to look put together without making much effort to do so! 

Sometimes we want to dress up but maybe don't have time to or money to afford nice looking clothes but if you have one item that looks expensive and chic it can make any outfit no matter how plain or inexpensive look very stylish.  This is one of my favorite tricks to use and do, and it always gets me compliments on my outfits.  Maybe later on I can post some pictures of some of my favorite accessorized outfits so you guys can see what I mean : )

Right now though, I will be posting below pictures of how the items looks with a plain black shirt:










Deals Haul-Share

   About a month ago or so a store named Deals opened up near where I live, I had never heard of it before, although shortly after it opened I did find a video on YouTube where someone mentioned it.  I eventually went to check it out and found some goodies I wanted to share with you guys in the video below:





Of course I had to buy stationary and items I could use in my planner! lol, I was happy with the prices, it reminded me of a dollar store and of Dollar Tree because it had similar items.  I will probably go again in the future to check out what other goodies I could find.

My First Blippo Order-Share

Lately I have been watching a lot of Youtube videos relating to Filofax, and Arts & Crafts and Stationary goodies and every time they mention an online store that sells cute things I always make note of it and go and check it out for myself.

In this video I am sharing an order that I did from an online store named Blippo (blippo.com).  I just ordered 2 things because I wanted to try out the items and see how fast the shipping was and of course the quality of the items as well.



As I said in the video I was happy with the shipping speed and the price as well.  Ever since I made this video I have been using the pen to write in my planner and I love it!  It's so cute, I love the colors on it and how fun it is with the lil clicker shaped like bunny ears lol.  I am very pleased with its quality, and in the future when I get another chance I will be making another order, so look out for that video lol.


Small Target and Staples Haul-Share



I don't know about you guys but I love Target, next to Walmart it is one of my favorite places to shop!  I love that I can find so many things I love, such as stationary, crafting, make-up and clothes!  Lately I have been going to check out Target's dollar bins, I love how they always have cute goodies there and how they change them around according to the season and holidays coming up. 

Target never disappoints me and I love how affordable the prices are, not to mention their great clearances!  I love places where I can find something I've bee lusting over in their clearance sections and for prices I can afford!  It really helps in these hard times and when you are on a budget!

I hope you guys enjoy my haul-share!  Thanks for watching and reading my blog posts! :)

Small TJ Maxx and Michaels Goodies-Share!

I have always been a Michaels fan, I love how colorful and open the stores are but most of all the goodies they have!  It is like AC Moore one of my favorite Crafting and Stationary supply stores, but lately I have also been checking out TJ Maxx for these such items and I haven't been disappointed.

Even though TJ Maxx doesn't have a large variety of Arts and Crafts or Stationary supplies I am surprised by how cute their small selections can be and how pleased I am with their prices!  So check out your TJ Maxx for goodies, you might be pleasantly surprised like I was : )


In this video I am sharing a few of the goodies I found.  I hope you guys enjoy my haul-share : )

Columbus Day Thrift Store Haul

The following video is of a haul that I did back on Columbus Day, in a thrift store near me called Unique.  It opened up near where I live a few years ago and I've been going ever since.  I know most people go to thrift stores for clothes or home décor items but me, lol, I go to find stationary and craft items.  I love to find things for my lil office space at home or for my planner.

I hope you guys enjoy my lil video.  On this day they were having a 50% off day, due to the holiday.  I was happy with what I found.  I hope you guys are checking out your local thrift stores and going treasure hunting as I call it! as well.



Later on I will be showing you guys what I used some of the items for and how they worked out for me : )

Small Dollar Tree Haul

I love Dollar Tree!  I first found out about Dollar Tree a few years back when I went to visit my best friend in PA and she had one new her place.  I went in and was in love!  Everything a Dollar? I couldn't believe it and what was more great was that they had a variety of stationary goodies!  As soon as I got back home I searched for the nearest Dollar Tree to me and have been going ever since to find goodies whenever I can : )

 
In this video I am sharing some of the goodies I found on one of my trips!  I didn't go buy to many things because I am on a budget but there was one thing I couldn't help but buy all of, and yes of course it had to be: washi tape! Smh on myself, I am a lil bit obsessed with washi tape at the moment, I admit it!

A Small AC Moore Haul!

I went to AC Moore and found some goodies for my Filofax, and some goodies for crafting ideas.  I love going to AC Moore because where I live is the closest Crafting Supply store to me and they always have really cute things and deals, not to mention their weekly coupons!



I am loving the StudioG mini stamps! They have become a favorite of mine, they are so inexpensive and cute.  I also love the variety, I already have a little collection of them and I can't wait to use them!  The ink pads are also pretty great because of their size and the variety of colors.  In the future I plan on making a video showing my collection as well as some crafts the I plan on creating with them.



How I Store My Washi : )

I wanted to share with you guys my storage solutions for all of my washi.  So far this is how I choose to store it and so far it works for me : )  I hope my video and pictures give you ideas as to new ways to store your own washi tape.


 
Below are pictures of my storage solutions:


I used 3 of these mini curtain rods on my wall for my current washi tape collection, so far I am pretty pleased with it.
 


 
These 2 pencil cases provide storage for my DIY thin and ultra thin washis:



 
Last but not least is my travel washi tape pouch, which I also made a video about.


DIY Thin and Ultra Thin Washi Tape!

In the video below I show how using my regular size washi tape and a paper cutter I make my own new thin and ultra thin washi tape to decorate my planners pages amongst other things : )


Depending on the patterns of the washi tape you can also create new patterns when cutting them.  This has helped me extend my choices of sizes and washi in my collection : ) and I am happy with it so far.

 
After I cut the washi tape up I roll it on to pencils and I store them in these two plastic pencil cases.
 
I hope you guys liked my idea and tips, and try them out for yourself!
